五、阅读理解。
As a child, Stephen Hawking was never a top student, but he was interested in Maths and Science. In his free time, he was always trying to explore how things work. He often took clocks and radios apart, though sometimes he had trouble putting them back together. Due to this love and interest, Hawking successfully won a scholarship to study Physics at Oxford when he was 17.
Sports had never been Hawking’s hobby since childhood, and he was not good at any ball games. In his third year at Oxford, Hawking found himself even worse at movements than before. He started to drop things and could not speak clearly. After a series of tests, doctors concluded that he was suffering from ALS (肌肉萎缩性侧索硬化症). But he never gave up. Hawking worked very hard to get the Doctor of Philosophy(哲学博士) and continued his research about space on a wheelchair with a special computer to help him talk.
Hawking shared his knowledge through writing. In his most famous book, A Brief History of Time, Hawking explains the universe, black holes and time travel in simple words that people can understand.
On March 14th, 2018, at the age of 76, Stephen Hawking passed away peacefully in his home at Cambridge.
